Everton football chief Marcel Brands is being linked with AS Roma.
The Dutchman's contract at Everton expires next summer.
Il Tempo says the Italian giants have decided to hire Retexo Intelligence, founded by a man named Charles Gould, to 'select the most suitable profiles' for the role, 'listing their strengths and weaknesses, as well as all their purchases and discoveries of talent'.
And Brands is said to be in the running as a result.
The former PSV chief is yet to enter talks about a new deal at Everton.
